PEPSI finally flew to Sweden 11 Sept '13

Finally the day came yesterday 11 September, when PEPSI finally flew to Sweden to join his forever loving new family.   Finding flight partners is so hard and Sweden is not one of the popular destinations.  Had it been Germany, then maybe he would have gone sooner.  Anyway as a result of kind people and contacts, a very nice animal lover was PEPSI'S escort.  At midnight last night, he was finally handed over and now he can enjoy his new life, in peace, safe and with love, away from the cruelty of Greece and the people.  He has come a long way from when we originally found home.  A few months ago, we left in the morning, as usual to go and feed all our strays.  Upon our return and close to our home, we found this tiny 'thing' laid on the ground, with an empty dirty water container.  

I picked him up immediately and literally there was hardly any life in this poor soldier.  I think I could honestly say now, that he was minutes away from death. It is interesting to write, that where he was left, was the pathway that we only used, so someone must have known that we were animal lovers and would do something to help this furry thing.  I picked him up straight away.  There was hardly any sign of life in him.  I had an army of kittens at home at the time, but another didn't make any difference.  I didn't know what to do.  He wouldn't drink milk, he wouldn't eat anything.  He had lumps on his head, but these were like little water cysts.  I took him to the vet to get advise.  It was touch and go with him.  I got medicines for him, which included liquid vitamins.  All of this was followed by twice daily visits to the vets for insulin injections to give him strength.  As the days moved on, so did MONTY'S strength.  We called him MONTY, because he fought and came back to life.

I had nowhere to keep all these kittens, so on the social sites, I posted like many and asked for homes.  A very nice lady, who took one of my other strays offered him a home immediately. From then on, he became PEPSI.  Passport and vaccinations were prepared, and then it was just a case of waiting for a suitable flight escort.  It happened.  Everything is possible for any stray, but it does require lots of hard work, time and energy.  Sadly many just turn away.

I would like say a huge thank you to everyone who made this exciting journey possible.
